Billy-C Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hello I have started to grind my rear rim and was just thinking how many times could I grind it before I would need to get a new rim? If anyone can help that would be grate Thanks Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trial1966 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Depends what rim it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 And depends what type of disk you use. If it's thick it makes deepers cuts, and also the angle you place on the rim when grinding. So many variables! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy-C Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I have a Onza hog rear rim and I use a thin grinding disk But thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Is this as simple as it sounds? Just grinding the braking face of the rim. To aid stopping power? And what disks do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what disks do you use? Yes it really really is, well obviously you have to be carefull to pull the disk not push it and you also have to watch the angle of the disk. You use metal cutting disks.
